Craving some quality beef? Here are six of the meatiest places for protein fetishists to hit this month.

MIRAI BEEF RARE PARTS YAKINIKU PLATTER @KAGURA
Smooth texture, rich flavour, beautiful marbling and melt-in-your-mouth? KAGURA’s Mirai beef ticks all the boxes and it’s from their own farm. The whole restaurant feels like you’re stepping into a warm cottage in the middle of an icy Hokkaido winter. We recommend the assorted mirai beef rare parts yakiniku platter that features all of their best cuts including the flank and the inside skirt. It melts in your mouth. Another favourite of ours is the Mirai beef sukiyaki that comes marinated in a sweet sauce and grilled for just a second on each side before being dipped in egg -- it’s completely unforgettable, we promise. Shop 1086, 1/F, Elements, 1 Austin Road West, Kowloon, 2682 3913; fb.com/kagurahk

ALL YOU CAN BEEF PARTY@RHODA
Your favourite “The Whole Hog” spot is closing for ever. We’re so sad to see it go! But they’re doing their last “all-you-can-beef” party on Wednesday September 5th just before they go. It'll feature cuts of Aussie and British grass-fed beef grilled over their signature open flame. They also have a free flow option so that to brighten up your hump day. G/F, 345 Des Voeux Road West, Sai Ying Pun, 2177 5050; rhoda.hk

WAGYU CUTLET SANDWICH @WAGYUMAFIA
If you're looking for luxury bordering on crassness, look no further. WAGYUMAFIA have transformed the innocuous sandwich into a high-end omakase spectacle. They’re opening their Hong Kong branch sometime in September, but if you want to try it a little earlier, there’s a pop-up in Elephant Grounds, Fashion Walk Causeway Bay on 22 August. It’s from 6pm and they’ve only got very limited quantities. You heard it from us first! Elephant Grounds, Causeway Bay, Shop C, 42-28 Paterson Street, Fashion Walk, 6pm onwards

STEAK ON STAKES @LILY & BLOOM
Lily & Bloom is doing a second round of their ticketed event “Steak on Stakes: North vs South.” It's billed as "a meaty battle between North American Beef and South American Beef," which sounds faintly preposterous. The event will feature De La Valley’s Argentine and Uruguayan beef and Lily & Bloom’s in-house 45-days dry aged steaks sourced from Chicago. If a 'meaty battle' does sound like your idea of fun, you can read more about them here. 5–6F, LKF Tower, 33 Wyndham Street, Central, Hong Kong, 2810 6166; lily-bloom.com

UNLIMITED DRY-AGED BEEF BRUNCH @WHISK
Along with their usual spread of oysters and suckling pig, WHISK changed their semi-buffet brunch to an all-you-can-eat buffet featuring some beefy mains made-to-order and served from the kitchen. That includes their 28+ days dry-aged organic Irish beef cuts. There are some other beefy all-you-can-eat small plates, such as their dry-aged beef & egg benedict burgers but it seems they change these every few weeks.. WHISK, 5/F, The Mira Hong Kong, Mira Place, 118 - 130 Nathan Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, 2315 5999; themirahotel.com
